Thanks for those pictures Mike. I especially like the one with the crinkle finish, and the fob watch in place. Give you 50 quid for it ha ha! There's a British 11 set in the Signals museum at Blandford Camp here in Dorset. The only other one I've ever seen was about 12 years ago at The War and Peace show, it was waiting to be picked up by it's new owner, who had just paid £1000 for it!!! You mentioned the wooden batteries. The one in the foreground is an original 6 volt dated 1942. Would you believe I paid £2.50 for it at a show at Popham Airfield, that Dave and Rory had been at, at least 4 hours before me. Rory is still smarting about it. I have found another 6 volt box, but it is larger. I have dismantled it, and a friend is going to rebuild it the correct size for me, some job though. He has your pictures and measurements to work from.
